Using the same stanzaic form (four lines) and a similar rhyme scheme (AA, BB/ CC, DD/ EE, FF, etc.), I would like to challenge you to rewrite the famous "I Have a Dream" speech delivered by Martin Luther King, Jr. like that of Bob Dylan's "The Death of Emmett Till." Because Dr. King's prose is substantially longer than Dylan's lyrics, you will need to synthesize the rich language and cut-out the non-essential parts. I advise taking one paragraph at a time; to try and synthesize and summarize the entire speech in one sitting would not be wise. You are welcome (in fact, encouraged) to quote Martin Luther King Jr. directly, but you must remember to place quotation marks around any language borrowed from his speech. Each class will compose their own "Dream" Song. Please click on the class you are currently enrolled in to view, edit, or add to your class' "Dream" Song.
